Latest notes: v0.40.3 · 22 October 2026
BeamNG PS5 Update Tracker
Last verified: October 24, 2026. BeamNG — v0.40 devblog, 19 October 2026
BeamNG’s PS5 launch coincided with v0.40 on 19 October 2026. The official index links v0.40.1, v0.40.2, and v0.40.3 by 22 October. This tracker separates explicitly PS5-tagged fixes, shared changes, and PC-only examples; it does not verify a console package number or rollout time.
The table summarises the official hotfix index and patch pages checked on 24 October 2026. Explicit PS5 tags are distinguished from shared changes and PC-only entries. Published v0.40.x notes are not proof of the exact PlayStation package number or that every console has received a rollout.
What changed in each version?
Dates are the datelines on BeamNG’s patch notes.
| Version | Date | PS5-tagged or shared changes | Platform scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| v0.40 | 19 Oct 2026 | Launch: 4-player split-screen, Percheron, First Drive, FSR 3 / PSSR | PC upscaler menu is wider (DLSS, XeSS) |
| v0.40.1 | 20 Oct 2026 | PS5-tagged UI crash with many images; shared split-screen settings and Career tutorial fixes | Only the UI crash line explicitly names PS5 |
| v0.40.2 | 22 Oct 2026 | PS5-tagged RS50 / PRO handbrake, Thrustmaster FFB +33%, T598 pedals; shared split-screen, part search, autosaves 2→4 | Vulkan, DLSS presets, Thrustmaster pedal bindings, and mod-manager items are PC-only |
| v0.40.3 | 22 Oct 2026 | Shared Career save-progress fix, UI memory leak, and photomode upscaling info | No explicit PS5 tag; console package not checked |
Which known issues are still open?
BeamNG maintains a shared known-issues page rather than a PS5-only list. It includes PC driver, Steam Input, G HUB, and BeamMP items. Those entries do not establish native PS5 console bugs or fixes. A shared Time Trial checkpoint issue is listed, but PS5 reproduction is not documented here. Use explicit platform tags before applying any workaround.
